Meta Developing Its Own Nano Banana: Will Produce Both Images and Videos

The huge interest users have shown in image-generating tools like Nano Banana has spurred Meta into action. The company is developing a new generative artificial intelligence codenamed Mango.

Recently, one of the features attracting the most users to AI platforms has been the ability to create various visuals with AI. AIs like ChatGPT and Gemini gained users rapidly after acquiring more advanced image generation models. The latest example of this was Google’s Nano Banana model. Drawing attention with its image creation capability, Nano Banana attracted a large number of users to Gemini. This situation seems to have caught Meta‘s attention, as they are now working on a similar project.

Meta to Release New Model Named Mango in the First Half of 2026

It is stated that this generative AI, developed under the codename Mango, will be able to produce both images and videos. Although Meta has not yet made a public statement on this matter, it is rumored that the project has been shared internally. According to information shared with the Wall Street Journal by people present at this presentation, Mango will be released in the first half of 2026.

While Meta already has a generative AI named Movie Gen, Mango is thought to have much more advanced features. While working on the visual-focused Mango model, Meta is also focusing on renewing its large language model family. The company is expected to offer its new large language model (chatbot), codenamed Avocado, to users in the first half of 2026 as well.
